My very own private copy of Gwen's newest release. Liberated Quiltmaking 2!!! WHOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!I had pre-ordered this book way back in November. When it came it was such a pleasant surprise to myself! I also got Log Cabin Quilts.
Another WHOOHOOO!!
Now I need to get digging through my stash to match some fabrics to her vibrant colorsense!
I am soon to be a greatgrandma again. This May a little greatgrandbaby named Logan William will be wrapped in my crocheted creation. I have used up 1200 yards of yarn and need to buy another giant skein. I also have three giant skeins of a babyblue. I will make another afghan that is more light and airy. This one is a shell pattern and is quite dense.Booties to follow of course!!!!
Unfortunately, no one signed up for my first teaching class. I had enough pieces to make 16 more blocks. I had planned to use them for demonstration in various steps of completion. My DD #2 loves this color combination.
So, this quilt will be her birthday quilt.
And check out how great a leftover block from Carolina Christmas blends with the blocks from the Loose Change book!!!! It seems that if I use sashing I can merge these two patterns. I still need to finish making the smaller blocks. I am almost done but had to stop to feed dear hubby who is home today celebrating Martin Luther King's Day.
Now I feel like doing some hand work. I may need to move two kitties....hummmmmmm.

Wow, Sue, you've been busy! The new black and white is a beauty. Congrats on the new great-grandson to be!
wheee, fun. you don't need to make vibrant quilts to do liberated. It'd be great in that black and white too! great blocks you've made there.
I love books, my copy of Gwens new book is in transit and since no mail is delivered today, I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow (hopefully) for my copy to arrive.
Congrats on the new baby! Like you quilt and from the looks of the books you are really be sewing. SO HAPPY STITCHING!
I still love those b&w Jamie's Blocks. Please don't show them again. I'm trying to finish up my UFOs and those blocks are calling to me. :-)
What a pity about your class!!! I really like the blocks and with the "left over" they will make a wonderful quilt.
what a shame that no one signed up for your workshop - I WOULD HAVE!!! ;) Lucky daughter to be getting a Birthday quilt soon.
Congrats on the new grand-baby on the way - May will be here before you know it. ;)
Love from Texas! ~bonnie
Congrats on the great-grandson. We have one and it feels pretty good. I love your blocks, the people around you missed a great class.
